Since the lighthouse is associated with the literary work of Virginia Woolf: Tilman Spengler is the man on German television who brings great authors and their works closer to culturally interested viewers. His series "Classics of World Literature" pays tribute to writers from all eras with a 15-minute episode (in German). One of these writers is Virginia Woolf (1882–1941). The segment can be found in the ARD Mediathek (ARD Media Library) at the following link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/virginia-woolf/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL3ZpZGVvLzkxODAyOWQ5LTZjOGUtNDEwYi1iODgyLTUwNzNlNTM3MWJiZA

The "Hole Stone", granite blocks that were erected about 3,000 - 4,000 years ago.

View of St. Ives

Mên-an-Tol is Cornish language and means hole stone. A special megalithic formation about 1 km of hiking trail off the road.

The age of this megalithic formation is estimated to be between 3,000 and 4,000 years. There are several legends surrounding this cultural site. For one thing, women can become pregnant if they crawl through the "Devil's Eye" - the hole stone - seven times during a full moon. On the other hand, children are protected from illnesses when they are passed through the hole. Well, no matter what faith you follow, the site is a fascinating place. This site can be visited at any time of the day or night - but one should not be disappointed by the "size" of the site. Although the megaliths appear huge in photos, in reality they are only between 1 m and 1.5 m high.

A visit to St Michael's Mount is well worth it, even if the entrance fee is a hefty £26.00 for the castle and gardens (2023). You have to make the necessary time for it. Avoid the weekends because then it is very busy!

The harbor at St Michael's Mount can only be used at high tide.
